Tokoname Clay

From Aichi, Japan

Handmade from black Tokoname clay, the Kotori Kyusu clay teapot is crafted by master potters to enhance the enjoyment of high-grade Japanese green tea. Its lid-free design allows for quicker cooling of hot water, reducing bitterness in green tea leaves. The built-in strainer ensures easy cleaning and optimal brewing, especially for teas like Sencha and Gyokuro that benefit from precise temperature control.

Tokoname clay is known for its hardness and density yet remains lightweight with thin walls. Often black or red, these unglazed teapots allow the clay to interact with the tea, enriching the flavor with each brew.

HOW TO PREPARE GREEN TEA USING KYUSU

1 | Boil water and cool it to the right temperature in a yuzamashi or water cooling pitcher.

2 | Measure five (5) grams (1 teaspoon) for a kyusu with 200ml to 250ml of water. Then add to a dry and clean kyusu teapot.

3 | Slowly pour the cooled water into the kyusu, filling it about 90% full, leaving room at the top for cleaner decantation.

4 | Add the lid for the recommended infusion time, generally about one to two minutes for Japanese green tea

5 | Hold the kyusu, secure the lid with your thumb, and pour tea into cups, alternating between them 6-7 times to ensure each cup gets an equal amount. Pour out all the tea from the kyusu.
